Gem Match: swap gems and clear the board

puzzle Swap two neighboring gems to line up three or more of the same shape. Each level has a score target and a limited number of moves, and chain reactions are the fastest way to get there. Free, no download, no sign-up.

How to play

  1. Tap two neighboring gems to swap them, or drag one onto its neighbor.
  2. A swap only counts if it lines up three or more gems of the same shape.
  3. Cleared gems drop new ones from above, and new lines score again as a chain.
  4. Reach the target score shown above the board before your moves run out to clear the level.

Questions

Is there always a possible move?

Yes. The board always keeps at least one valid swap.

How do I score more?

Longer lines and chain reactions are worth more than single three-gem matches.

What happens if I run out of moves?

The level ends and you can try it again from the start.
